Thoddoo beach

Ultimate guide 2018

Thoddoo is the main agricultural island in the Maldives (North Ari atoll). Watermelons, bananas and many other fruits are grown here. There are also beaches - one of the best in country. That's why the island has become extremely popular among budget travelers. There is a small bikini-beach. Strange, but the choice of fresh fruits in island's shops is limited. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

The best time to relax on the beaches of Thoddoo island is a dry season in the winter half of the year. The summer half of the year is good as well, but you'll get a maximum of three sunny days per week.

Attention! In Thoddoo island solo woman traveller may face the risk of harassment and rude attitude. This is absolutely reliable information, obtained from different sources during many years. It seems, that there are few sex addict men on the island (though the most of locals are very friendly). The worst thing is that guesthouse' owners don't go to police, as they afraid that the noise about this problem may spoil reputation of the island. Rather stupid position…

As a result, the police do nothing. Moreover, some hotel's owners believe that female tourists are guilty for their problems.

Please note, that even if a woman wears pareo on a public beach, it doesn't guarantee that everything will be Ok.

Of course, majoruty of tourists had a great vacation on this beautiful island. But it is your safety and your money. So think, whether you need to visit the island with such a reputation.
